My oldest cat has a brain tumor and is too old to operate. He is on steroids and phenobarbitol.He also has hyperthyroid and I am using Lithium acetate.He has lost over 50% of his weight, my little girl cat has neuro issues that no one can figure out. She walks in circles, has artheritis in her front paws, losing weight, and cannot process what she sees...

I know what you mean about eating. I find it difficult enough being celiac and vegetarian and then on top of that, everyone has a opinion about everything else. Do fish oil, don't do fish oil. eat nuts, don't eat nuts. Sometimes the pain/discomfort makes me feel like I will never feel "good" again. Just to wake up and feel normal. When I lay in bed the...

Got some injections in trigger points in back, so I understand that concept. The two ill cats are ongoing. Not sure if getting enough protein. Will check that will my chiro tonight who has said something about plant protein drink. Marty

Thanks so much for all of the responses. I have had an abdominal ultrasound, no gallbladder issues, all organs looked fine, had MRI, discs okay, had x-ray, some osteopenia, nothing dramatic, had barium swallow, mild reflux. My DO believes that years and years and years spent in front of the computer (my job) and the last seven not really sitting/working...

It's been awhile since I have looked at this forum. Thought I was really doing okay. Diagnosed in 2005, been gluten free since then. Diagnosed with Hashi's in 1999. On dissicated thyroid. Lab levels fine. In 2009 began to have some mid back pain, but because I was in the midst of changing thyroid meds, thought it was all from that. Had a few months...

Hi, haven't been here in a while, hopefully I can get some feedback. Diagnosed with Hashi's in 1999, celiac in 2004, IBS in the 60's. Am currently on 75mg of Armour after trying to do a compounded T-4 due to high (+1000) antibodies which doc thought Armour might be contributing. Long story short, back on Armour 4-5 months ago and began a trial...

Has anyone had any issue with a generic form of Lomotil. I have taken this medication off and on for years. Summertime is always rough on my digestive system and sometimes I have to resort to Lomotil to help quiet things down. I only need maybe 3-4 a month, but it helps. Got a new prescription filled and it was a different manufacturer. Took it at...

If I get to know my veggies any better, I think my husbanc will leave me. MartyG

Glad I found this topic although I am not sure if anybody will come back to it. I also was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in 1999 and on Armour until last month when they put me on Thyrolar because of extremely high antibodies. It seems the lactose in the thyrolar has upset my stomach, because I am have constant loose bowels, but then again with the thyroid...

I do not normally do milk, yogurt (cheese does seem to bother me) so I don't know if there is a problem. Years ago when I did drink some milk, I always bought the lactose free. I don't normally do dairy, except some cheese.. I've been eating mostly rice and don't know if I am becomng allergic to that. Can celiac's develop allergies to the limited grains...

Hey, I was diagnosed with celiac in 2005, IBS in the '60's and Hashimoto's thyroid in 1999. I recently had to change my thyroid meds because my antibodies had reached over 1,000. The pill, I discovered yesterday, has lactose and corn starch in it. Is it possible that the ingredients, due to an already compromised system, have a negative effect. We...

I have just found out that the new thyroid medication contains Lactose and corn starch. I wonder if that would have an impact on the digestive system. Thoughts. Marty

Thank you for your responses. I have been a vegatarian for over 35 years. For ethical reasons, so change is not something that is possible for me. Sometimes with the other health issues I don't know if the thyroid is acting up, the medication, or whether the IBS is kicking in. It is all very frustrating. I have been feeling good for several years...

Hi, I was diagnosed with Celiac in 2005, thyroid in 1999 and IBS in the '60's. and have been following a gluten free diet since then. Been feeling fine for the most part. I also have IBS and Hashimodos thyroid and have recently changed my thyroid medication due to high antibodies. I am currently on Thyralor. I was on Armour for nine years. I have...
